Backrooms Actor Mark Duplass Defends Kane Parsons Following Claims He “Didn’t Direct” the Film

Mark Duplass defended Kane Parsons as the true director of A24’s Backrooms, saying Parsons was fully in control on set and well prepared.

Online rumors claimed Parsons did not actually direct the film, but Parsons pushed back and mocked the speculation.

The dispute puts scrutiny on a young first-time feature director, even as Parsons’ viral shorts and early reception support his credibility.

The controversy matters because Backrooms is a high-profile horror project with a prominent cast and major expectations ahead of release.
